I need to learn Lua quickly and I searched a book about Lua
like Accelerated C++(Koenig) or Effective C++(Meyers) but I not found
an Accelerated Lua (for gamer developers... uhuuuu!!!).

I ordered on Amazon site The Programming in Lua 3ed (Ierusalimschy) and
I'm reading the language reference 5.2 but I feel a huge lack of some more
pragmatic approach to learning.

My introduction to language 4 days ago was this nice little tutorial
"The Crash course to the Lua" (http://luatut.com/crash_course.html) and
I liked of a simple project to see some code
(​​https://github.com/pkulchenko/ZeroBraneStudio).
